Weekly Weigh In



for my loyal readers - a Weight Watchers update

i was down 1 pound last night for a total of 47.4 pounds lost since June.

I can't help thinking (i'm feeling kind of blah about myself lately) that people must look at me and think "man. . she lost 47 pounds and *STILL* looks like that. . . wow. . ." :(

ugh...

just me being stupid i guess. . but i can't help it....

but. . .a loss is a loss. . even if it's only a pound.

Billy, Billy, Billy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG he was amazing

we had SUCH a good time!!!

i've seen billy before but he was BETTER than he was the last time i saw him

our seats were awesome. . they were up in the balcony but to billy's left right at the side of the stage and in the first row of the balcony. . .awesome awesome awesome

he sang a LOT of stuff that you don't regularly hear - kwim?? and then of course he sang his "usuals"

between songs he'd just talk to the audience. .which was VERY cool. . it felt VERY intimate!!!

if you're interested here's the songs he played (also getting them down for journaling i'm going to do ):
Allentown
NY state of mind
movin' out
river of dreams
pressure
zanzibar
goodnight saigon
i go to extremes
the ballad of billy the kid
the great wall of china
the night is still young
keeping the faith
prelude/angry young man
you may be right
big shot
it's still rock n' roll to me
we didn't start the fire (my FAVORITE song. .)
she's always a woman (another of my favorites and before he started playing he's like. .we haven't played this one in a LONG time. . ROFL)

oh and he sang a tribute song for wilson pickett who died the day of the concert

his encore was: only the good die young, scenes from an italian restaurnant and piano man

it was 2.5 hours of non-stop MUSIC. . . totally unbelievable, worth every penny. . i'm astounded by how much ENERGY he has!!! the coolest moment of the entire show for me was during the last chorus of piano man he stopped singing and the band stopped playing and it was just the Garden full of fans singing the chorus of the song. . . amazing. . he looked all around with this HUGE smile on his face. . .i can't imagine that feeling EVER gets old!!

i'm so mad i didn't bring my camera. . but the tickets said no cameras and i really didn't want to risk it

but i'm SO mad i didn't b/c a TON of people had them!!

oh well!!
